Wind Calculation

The document provides the design of foundations for two signboard pylons. It includes calculations of wind loads on the signboards based on wind speed factors and dimensions. It then calculates the loads, moments, and bearing pressures on concrete block foundations for each pylon. Reinforcement of 16mm bars at 200mm centres is provided for the foundations based on engineering judgement. Calculations confirm the bearing pressures are below the allowable soil capacity of 150kN/m2, therefore the foundations are considered safe.
